Jazzy D's Soul Notes

Well, what a lovely sunny if a cold day. I am in town today as I had received four pounds in vouchers from Unilever for an online complaint I did sometime last year for one of my companies. I had forgotten about it until I received an email from them followed by the letter with the vouchers and an apology for the delay.

Well, better later than never.

It used to have a branch line by rail from Seaton but closed down in 1964 when Beeching did his swingeing cuts. It is also famous for the independent Uppingham School which was founded in 1584.

We left Uppingham just before midday to get to Oakham station for the return journey back to Brighton. The Sunday was just as hot and humid, made worse with the extra items we bought that we had to carry.Arrived at Brighton 4.15 pm.
